Just wanted to give a shout out to the crew working 5/22/25 around 4:45. This was the most respectful group of young people I've seen in a long time. They got my order exactly right, used manners...

Decent BBQ establishment. BBQ, chicken, and ribs were all a bit dry. Chicken and ribs were both overcooked. The selection of BBQ sauce was just ok, not much variety offered. Coleslaw, baked beans...

BBQ is good! Brunswick stew is my favorite. Most desserts are homemade. Staff is very friendly.

It's on the "Georgia BBQ Trail"! Excellent ribs and well-cooked pork. (I prefer to add a different bbq sauce, though.) Don't miss the bbq beans and banana pudding... They are *especially* superb!!

Barbecue is delicious. It's tender without being mushy even after you add the sauce. Slaw is excellent. Staff is friendly and restaurant is clean.
